Chapter 7

The party was in full swing an about an hour into it Severus decided to make his escape. He was inches from the door when he froze,he couldn't move his feet. Turing his head he found Alexandra staring at him before she turned to talk to Lucius. Severus felt something in his hands, opening it he found a note.

'Please be in my office with in an hour to discuss are past.'

Looking back at her once he headed to his own chambers. After a shower an a change of clothes Severus headed to her office letting himself in he froze.

"What are you doing here?" He hissed closing the door.

"She asked me to meet her here." Hermione growled back.

"Great." Severus reply rolling his eyes at her.

Hermione was about to replied when the door opened. "...swear I'll come in moment."

"You better we haven't truly thanked you yet."

"I promise, now will you two go party." Alexandra said before turning an entering the room. "Please sit." She told them walking to her desk an sitting down. "Well i have seen what happened that night so feel free to talk."

"I'm so sorry Alexandra, i never meant to hurt you. I was lonely an i was afraid we had lost you."

"So you felt sleeping with a man you knew i had feelings for would be a fitting way to remember me?" Alexandra asked raising a brow.

"No i guess i wasn't thinking." She answered lowing her head.

"An you, My hair may be the same color as hers but my mine is wavy not busy an i was an still am built more then her in the fact that i was no where near London at the time,where you truly that drunk you couldn't tell us apart?"

"I missed you so bad i just wanted it to me be. When she said you might be dead i was hit with the fact that that could be the case an in my drunken state i went into denial an believed you had returned to me." Severus told her.

"An Granger as smart as you are you couldn't tell he was long past piss drunk?"

"I guess i just didn't care." She mumbled.

"Severus you could have handle that a whole lot better there was no reason to go at her like that, you being older an an Professor should have know when to stop drinking."

"I-" Severus started but was cut of when she raised her hand for him to stop.

"I no longer care to discus this, in fact i truly wish we all could just forget it even happened. No one wished for anyone to get hurt it just happened. And i think we all can agree we've waisted enough time an energy on this."

"Dose...dose that mean you don't hate us, that we are forgiven?" Hermione asked sitting up straighter.

"Dealing with Lucius i have learned some things just aren't worth losing over stupid mistakes." She smiled at her. "Now a believe i heard Ron asking Harry about where you were so you should run along."

"Thank you Alex, I'll see you later?" Hermione asked standing.

"Yes, I've promised the Malfoy boys that i would return."

Severus waited until they were alone before he looked at her. "Are you an Lucius lovers?"

"No, i am attracted to him but he cares to much about your friendship to make a move. And i would never sleep with one of your friends."

"But you would my Godson, after swearing never to let anyone but me touch you?"

"You asked me to promise to never let anyone touch me like you did or to see me like you did. Draco's touches were not that of love but of lust an my body responded in kind. He didn't touch me like you nor did he see me like you did. I have not broken my word, you how ever did take another into your bed."

"I didn't intend to." He sighed pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I know that now Severus i saw you on the floor, saw how hurt an angry you were. As I've said i forgive you both." She told him looking down at her hands.

"But there something else isn't there?" Severus asked.

"I can forgive Severus but i can't let you back into my heart, I'm not that strong anymore the pain i felt when i found you had loved her nearly killed me." She told him looking up at him with sad eyes.

"So that's it, we're over?" He asked rising from his seat as his anger rose as well.

"Yes. I'm sorry Severus i-"

"You're Sorry! I let you into my life, my heart. I let my guard down i let my self believe i could be loved an love someone in return! I survived a bloody war for you an now because some stupid hormonal dressed up MUDBLOOD YOU WANT TO WALK AWAY FROM ME!" Severus said ending his statement with a shout.

"WHAT...DID ... YOU...CALL ...HER! " Alexandra shouted jumping from her chair.

"You can't just walk away from me Alexandra i-"

"WHAT DID YOU CALL HER!"

"Hormonal,stupid dressed up up Mud..." Severus stop his eyes going wide as he realized what he had just said. "I didn't mean to use that word..."

"You said it not only said it but you shouted it, some where you must believe it. What will you say about me Severus? When you leave this room what hurtful vile things with come out of you mouth about me? "She asked him both anger an hurt that he would feel that way about anyone.

"I would never call you that!"

"Of course not both my parents were magic folk,but do have my faults don't i? I f i ever hear that or any other slur come from your mouth again you will be dismissed. Now i have a party to get back to." She told him walking past him an out the door.

Alexandra walked back into the Great hall to hear cheering an laughing, the girls where talking to Hermione an the men where all Giving Ron pats on the back.

"Did i miss something?" She asked them.

"Hermione finally caved in an agreed to marry me. "Ron ginned at her.

"No joking?" She asked looking to Hermione.

"No joking I'm going to be a real Weasley." Hermione smiled holding up her ring hand.

"As you friend an Headmistress we must have the wedding here."

"Oh that would be lovely thank you Alex." Hermione said close to tears as she ran to her an hugged her.

"Well it looks like we got another reason to party." Lucius said grabbing Alexandra hand an twirling her out onto the dance floor.

Once again Alexandra was preoccupied with planing a wedding. Within three months of there engagement Hermione an Ron were getting married
